American scientists were able to uncover an astronomical mystery that almost a hundred years remained a mystery to researchers. The results of the scientific work they outlined in the pages of Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.

The essence of the mystery consisted in the classification of stars-subgiants. On the development of a classification of stars-subgiants initially worked with George Gamow and Walter Adams, but their work was little known, in contrast to the studies of Allan Sandidge, which he presented to the scientific society in the 50-ies of the last century. Now managed to prove that the first group of scholars studying the stars was rewritten long before that and discussed their scientific theories in the form of letters.

Including both groups developed a chart that noted the position of subgiants depending on their size. Sandija the disappointment was great when he learned that his work had already implemented two other astronomer about ten years ago. Later, however, failed to prove that subgerente can be considered one of the stages of evolution of stars that belong to the main sequence
